Is there a way to send mail from the internet to a user on Prodigy?
Vice versa?

Thanks!

No, Prodigy is an island.  They're a videotex service, not an
electronic mail network.

Besides, how could they extract their $.25 if there were one?

Given the reported political climate on Prodigy I would pity anyone stupid
